Robert Farrar Capon: “For all its rooted loveliness, the world has no continuing city”

“For all its rooted loveliness, the world has no continuing city here; it is an outlandish place, a foreign home, a session in via to a better version of itself-and it is our glory to see it so and to thirst until Jerusalem comes home at last. We were given appetites, not to consume the world and forget it, but to taste its goodness and hunger to make it great.”

– Robert Farrar Capon, “The Supper of the Lamb: A Culinary Reflection”
